I am the Empress Dowager!

Chapter 252 Expedition to the Northwest
It was already late at night when Liu Long left Liang Jin's tent. In Liang Jin's tent, Liu Long learned a lot.

I finally clarified my thoughts.

In fact, Liang Jin didn't give Liu Long any strategies, and maybe now he couldn't determine the situation in the northwest.

Today's Northwest is completely different from when he was there.

At least back then, he still had a relatively stable northwest and a relatively stable four counties in Hexi.

But now the Western Region has nothing to do with the Han Dynasty, and the Qiang and Hu in the four counties of Hexi are making endless noises, not to mention that Ren Shang is no longer able to control the overall situation.

Today, he has undergone tremendous changes.

Before leaving, Liang Jin also told Liu Long very seriously.

"When you go to the northwest, Your Majesty must be careful of the three parties!

First, the Northern Huns still occupy the Western Region, and the countries in the Western Region have been fighting for years, and they can be used or provoked.

The Huns in the north are determined to be evil. If they find an opportunity, they will definitely invade our Han territory again. Your Majesty must be on guard!
Secondly, although the Qiang and Hu are chaotic, they now have the will to be independent.

That Ling Qiang Hu dared to claim to be the emperor, this is not only because they don't know what is meant, but also because they have already understood that the scattered tribes cannot fight against my big man.

If their ideas really start to sprout, this Qianghu will definitely become another serious problem for my big man in the future!
In addition to the Qiang Hu, there is another force that Your Majesty must be careful about.

That's Ren Shang! "

Liang Jin didn't say much to Ren Shang. After all, Ren Shang was far above him in terms of low position, prestige and even military qualifications.

Therefore, although Liang Jin had some thoughts in his mind, he could not express them openly.

We can only remind Liu Long to be careful.

Liu Long, who returned to his camp, immediately asked people to get many messages from Cai Lun and Cao Teng in the rear.

Among them, I especially looked at this one about Ren Shang.

"Promoted to the throne."

"Your Majesty, please order!"

“This Ren Shang”

"Your Majesty, you don't have to doubt it. In fact, your Majesty himself has already discovered to you that the former General Ren Shang was indeed a powerful general of our great Han Dynasty.

As the director of the Qiang Prefecture, General Deng Xun, the captain of the Qiang Guards, he was well versed in the methods of fighting against the border.

Whether he followed General Deng Xun to defeat the Shaodang Qiang or followed Dou Xian to defeat the Northern Huns, General Ren Shang was a well-deserved veteran of the frontier.

But Your Majesty also knows that this person will change! "

"."

Yu Xu also didn't speak very clearly, but Liu Long also understood what the other party meant.

"Yes, people always change!"

Liu Long couldn't help but sigh, and then placed the letter in his hand directly on the table in front of him.

The sigh in his mouth has already come out, but the sigh in his heart echoes in his heart for a long time.

Back then, Ren Shang was indeed a powerful and famous general of the Han Dynasty.

When he first paid homage to the Zhonglang General who was protecting the Xiongnu, he led the protection of the northern Xiongnu. It can be said that he single-handedly withstood the heavy pressure from the northern Xiongnu. In this case, Ren Shang repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.

He captured and killed the Northern Xiongnu, except the Chanyu Chanyu, and led the Xianbei Metropolitan Guard to defeat the Fenghou Chanyu!

During the reign of the late emperor, it was a rising star among the bright stars.

But I don’t know why, but all this changed in Yongyuan’s 14th year.

That year he succeeded Ban Chao, another famous general of the Han Dynasty, as the Protector of the Western Regions. He was still the same Ren Shang, but this time he triggered a riot in the Western Regions.Even in the end, he defeated the "rebels" in the Western Region without relying on anyone.

However, he was dismissed by the court.

then
When Ren Shang was activated again, he seemed to have lost his original ability.

In the first year of Yongchu, he paid homage to Zhengxi Xiaowei and went to conquer the Qiang people. However, he returned with no success and even lost troops and generals, and finally became the biggest scapegoat.

A few years later, he finally found another opportunity to repel the Xianling Qiang at Shangdang Yangtou Mountain, but in the end he only captured 200 people.
200 people!
Liu Long didn't know if someone did it deliberately, or if he really just killed 200 people.

A Qianghu tribe that fought from the northwest to Hebei was finally repelled and only killed 200 people.

Compared with Liang Jin's record of several thousand, it is more appropriate to call it a joke than a credit.

Now the Third Assistant is stationed again, but judging from the battle report in front of him, he has no good way to face the "court" composed of zero Qiang and Hu.

It is completely impossible to defeat the opponent again.

Not only in terms of war, there is also something very troublesome about Ren Shang.

That's his character.

Back then, he made a mess in the Western Regions, and the biggest reason was because of his strict governance!

Perhaps this has something to do with his character back then. He was a very standard general and a very standard warrior.

At that time, Ren Shang didn't have a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He was a guy who didn't even know his origins. His only way out was to join the army and fight desperately.

But it was this experience and past that made Ren Shang full of martial character in the early stage, and he was straightforward in doing things.

But after experiencing a riot in the Western Region, and then being deposed and imprisoned one after another, Ren Shang became different from before.

He is no longer as straightforward as before. On the contrary, today's Ren Shang is full of those people's bad habits.

Or this statement is unfair to Ren Shang.

But when Liu Long saw Ren Shang giving Deng Feng a BMW, he knew that Ren Shang was no longer the same Ren Shang.

"The war on the frontline is so tight now that there are not even enough war horses in the northwest to fight with the Qiang and Hu.

At this time, I still don't think about how to solve the current dilemma.

It's still possible. I really don't know what to say.

Deng Feng was just the son of the general, but he was already so pleased with him.

If there really is an envoy to visit you in the future."

Liu Long couldn't continue speaking halfway through his words, while Yu Xu on the side couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile.

Then he looked at Liu Long Qingsheng in front of him and said something.

“Your Majesty, this is General Ren Shang’s choice.

Even though your Majesty is the co-owner of the world, you can't say anything about General Ren Shang's choice.

Because this is Your Majesty, this court, and General Ren Shang who has changed the world. "

Yu Xu's words made Liu Long completely silent. At the same time, Liu Long took a deep breath and completely blocked all thoughts in his mind.

"You are right, Ren Shang has become like this, I can't say anything.

But now that things have reached this point, I can't let others do the same!

Pass the order, the army will set out tomorrow! "
